Hi There!
We all want to be a Master of our lives and enjoy “The Good Life” don’t we?
We all want a life filled with an abundance of good relationships, good health, happiness and plenty of money. Isn’t that right?
Sometimes life can be confusing though can’t it?
Sometimes we can suffer needlessly with trouble and pain in our lives ... with our relationships, our health, our money, or our careers ... and it can be difficult to see where the road is. It can be hard to figure out what to do and where to go to get from where we are now to the elusive ‘good life’.
So if you want to take a step in a better direction, but you are feeling confused over what you need to do, then getting a personal I Ching reading could be just the thing you are looking for.
With an I Ching reading you will get the same powerful guidance that has helped people achieve success and prosperity in their lives for over 3000 years. In Asia it is overwhelmingly the most popular form of divination, and its use in Europe and the Americas is rapidly increasing.

The process of reading or consulting the I Ching involves casting coins, yarrow stalks or seeds to create a sequence of 6 lines called a "hexagram". Each line is either Yin (the passive / feminine energy) or Yang (the active / masculine energy). The Yin lines are the broken lines and the Yang lines are the solid lines.
Each of the 64 hexagrams in the I Ching represents a major phase in the ever-cycling process of change, and each of the 6 lines within the hexagram represents a micro-phase. This means that, according to the I Ching, there are 384 (i.e. 64 x 6) possible 'expressions' of change that can appear in our lives.
This sophisticated understanding of the cycles change is where you get the greatest benefits. By having the I Ching reveal to you where you are in your individual cycle, you will:
A simple way of understanding this is to think about the seasons of the year. For example, if you know that you are currently in the 'winter phase' of the year then you also know that a 'spring phase' is just around the corner. Therefore you can do what is appropriate for winter (i.e. staying warm, conserving energy) and you can also prepare for the coming spring (i.e. preparing the soil for planting).
Instead of floundering around going nowhere and getting exhausted by swimming against the current, by consulting the I Ching you discover what you need to do to swim with the current of your life and maximize the results of all your endeavors.
On a deeper level however, the I Ching is a tool traditionally used by practitioners of Taoism to help them with their spiritual cultivation. Here's what Master Hua-Ching Ni, a Taoist Priest of the Quanzhen 全眞 (Complete Reality) School of Taoism, says about the I Ching:

The I Ching teaches one to look for the most appropriate point in any particular behavior or event. This method is invaluable to an individual's self-discovery and self-alignment. One who comes to understand this sense of appropriateness, incorporates it into his or her thought processes, and adheres firmly to it as the highest "doctrine" of his or her own personal religion, will benefit in all three spheres of life. Such a person will find clarity in the mental sphere, balance in daily life, and positive, steady spiritual growth.

By consulting the I Ching you discover:

I was looking for clarity of career direction and wanted a chance to look outside the square that my mind had formed around the options that were running around in there.
The reading was very concise and allowed the different levels to be investigated layer by layer with Stuart’s guidance. As each layer was peeled back a new solution was able to be presented.
Stuart has always been able to get to the heart of matters and, with the help of the I Ching, has given me great clarity about the direction which is most auspicious to the energy around my life at the moment. Of course the end decision always rests with the individual though you know when something feels right about the direction suggested by the reading and that in itself gives me the courage to take the necessary steps.
Take heed of the intuition that Stuart presents to you and let it grow within your psyche. The reading itself is only a part of the value in the process and the rest is in the accurate interpretation that Stuart is able to present to you. At the very least you will get a different perspective on your life situation potentially unleashing your creativity in response and that is priceless.

I've never had a reading before. As a Westerner I'm skeptical of such a random based fortune telling system, but I've had friends that have convinced me otherwise, or at least to try a reading.
At worst its like a Rorschach test where the nature of the answer stimulates and focuses your thinking and problem solving. At best there is an age old mysticism about it where the answer is uniquely insightful.
I respect Stuart's knowledge of Chinese and Taoist traditions. Because he's a Westerner with a foot in the Chinese world I thought the answer might be less 'flowery' and more practical then what I might get from a Chinese reader.
There were two hexagrams 'thrown', the first was Jian/Jen Gradualness, Wind over Mountain with poetic reading of Good fortune (and good marriage) come from firmly keeping to the right way. This had significant meaning for me as an investor to be cautious, build gradually and seek mentorship.
The second hexagram was Wei Ji, Fire over Water and had a poetical story symbolizing don't rush in. Again very relevant to an investor. He tied it into the Tao Teh Ching and included thoughts on interpretation and strategies it implies. The reading was wrapped up in a last page of summary and guidance, both practical and allegorical.
The best strategic thinking has its roots in elemental forces. That is the strength of oriental philosophy, whether an approach should be based on fire, water, air, earth etc. The answers of the IChing are rooted in these. I think the answer I got was rooted in both the Rorschach mirror and uniquely insightful to my question.
Ask the right question and you'll get a reply that both poetic and practical that will provide you guidance in your decision making.

My question was about cultivating love in my relationships, something which I thought I had perhaps become unable to fully do.
I like the way your thoughtful comments made me question some of my actions within relationships. I'm feeling more conscious of my part in controlling what comes next, and keeping things positive. I've also realized that by acknowledging the roles we play in relationships, we become more aware of ourselves and our souls.
Had I not been quite so thoughtful of these things lately, I might have let a very special person slip out of my life. Instead I have a beautiful woman who wants to be at my side through thick and thin. I understand it's not about getting the love, but maintaining it. By making the journey longer, we constantly shape our destination.
I think you did a great job Stuart. I could go on and on about the timing being so nice in relation to my life. I think you have quite a knack for understanding a true question. As you pointed out, the answers you gave me have many layers to unravel. Well surely most questions do as well, and I think you did a good job giving me the info that pertains to my particular situation. I've really enjoyed reflecting on your thoughtful words.
If you are thinking of getting one of Stuart’s I Ching Readings I would highly recommend it.
Casting the I Ching is one thing, but knowing how to practically apply its advice is another. There are so many subtleties and complexities to the I Ching that, without an in-depth understanding of the underlying I Ching principles, as well as the Taoist tradition from which it came, you can easily misinterpret the results and head in the wrong direction.
Remember, a few degrees of error over a long journey can mean a BIG difference in the result. It can mean the difference between a life of success and prosperity and one that is littered with dismal failure and suffering.
The other thing is that when we are so close to the issue at hand, especially if there are conflicting emotions involved, we will very often misinterpret the advice we are given. Sometimes we will see only what we want to see and manipulate the advice to suite our emotional needs.
This is why, when consulting the I Ching, it is so important to get an objective view of your situation from someone who understands the deeper principles of the I Ching … someone who is able to take the I Ching reading and translate it into practical advice that is specifically relevant to help you achieve success in your endeavors.
This sort of objective insight and advice is exactly what I can give you.
